Keith Olbermann Friday blamed 9/11 on former President George W. Bush.

"3,000 people died on September 11th, 2001 because George Bush did not prioritize," the "Countdown" host disgracefully told his small number of viewers.

"Perhaps no one says it because it is such a painful, awful truth to confront, 3,000 people dead because Bush and Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld and others simply had other agendas than fighting terrorism."

Olbermann then brought on the equally disgraceful Lawrence O'Donnell - who earlier in the day was cut off by Joe Scarborough due to his atrocious behavior on "Morning Joe" - to assist him in making his disgusting point (video embedded below the fold with transcript):

Ummm..., can we blame the Fort Hood shootings on Obama, then?

"3,000 people died on September 11th, 2001 because George Bush did not prioritize,"...

Perhaps no one Keith Olbermann says it that because it is such a painful, awful truth to confront, 3,000 people dead because Bush Clinton and Dick Cheney Al Gore and Don Rumsfeld William Cohen and others the whole Clinton administration simply had other agendas than fighting terrorism.

There, I fixed it.

Obviously this guy needs to be called on his outrageous comments. I often wonder whether his show would even be on if TV and radio talkers did not highlight his quotes. I had no idea the guy even had a show til I began reading stories about his outrageous behvior a year or so ago.

Thanks for posting this.

I passed on the olberdork video and watched Jodie Miller instead.

mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, what a cutie pie!

It’s painful to say, but Keith Olbermann’s going to end up dead under suspicious circumstances someday very soon and no one will really *care* who’s responsible.

I guess Bubba letting Bin Laden go 8 times had nothing to do with that, right Keith?

You loser Commie maggot.

Obamonty Jivethon's Lying Circus' hilarious wild comic parody of an American news and opinion show, Countdown.

Better than SNL but rumors persist that Countdown is serious! Imagine that. It's that good!

Hysterical parody of modern political debate.

Yeah - "suspicious" in the David Carradine sense.

Lowrent O’donnell and Quiff Doberman are use to making total fools of themselves while trying to defend their mindless beliefs. It's not a big deal when the entire audience of the show can fit inside a Mini Cooper.

So the logical conclusion then is that Ft. Hood was Obama’s fault. Wonder when he will say this?

IIRC, during the lead-up to 9/11, Bush still had the Clinton people as holdovers in the FBI and CIA, and the Clinton policies were still in place.

It's also true that during the 2000 campaign, terrorism was scarcely mentioned by either candidate, nor was it a central issue during the presidential debates.

I watched a few seconds of Olbie and Crazy Larry before I turned it off in disgust. It was basically two crazy people assuring each other that they weren’t crazy. Apparently Olbie and the MSNBC crew are trying to squeeze in as much crazy talk as they can before Comcast pulls their plug.

[Feckless]

Keith UberDork is a douche. If 9/11 is to lay at anyone's feet it is Bill Clinton. Eight years of empty threats and bombing empty desert camps told Obama.. er Osama that we were a paper tiger.

W put the claws back in the tiger.

W invaded two countries and killed bushel baskets full of terrorists to keep me safe. ZeroBama is afraid to bitch slap one of his homies to do the same.

GIVE ME SOME SUGAR, BABY!!!
